<redacted> He is not asking about 5-10k EQM deficit, he is asking for 50% (or maybe more since we dont know the full story).

While AA is wrong and should give you an opportunity to pay up to get EXP I would think that amount they will ask will be above $10k. From what I've seen when you're short 10k miles they ask for a few thousand dollars and OP is missing ~50k.

OP is wrong because he feels that completing 1/2 of the requirements for EXP qualification gives him the right to qualify just because he is a member of FFP for 19 years. If you're a subscriber to cable company for 19 years and you pay them $100/month for certain package - do you think that call them and tell them that as a loyal customer you deserve to get the same cable package but now you can only pay $50/month. If you have season tickets to certain team for 19 years and you continue paying $10,000 per year for them - do you think if you reach out to team and tell them that you had surgery and had to take some time off from work and because of that all you can afford for 2019 season is $5000. Do you think the team will eat $5000 or will they just sell your tickets to someone that is capable of paying $10,000.
